David Graham, a writer at The Atlantic, thinks it might not be a good idea to annoy your fellow Thanksgiving guests with discussions about politics. However, this year he is making an exception and is urging his fellow liberals to attempt reeducating the "unenlightened" Thanksgiving guests with a plethora of leftist talking points. Why?

My ironclad rule for every BBQ, party, and invite including the biggest Thanksgivings is drop your religion and politics at the front door.

There is so much to talk about other than these two fire starters. While the two can be touched upon, go lightly, very, very lightly.

People have forgotten how to converse and frankly, the continued blather over politics is decidedly annoying for everyone. It isn’t clever or fun, and marks one as a bore.

...but thanks for giving the rest of us advice Dave!
